| An immense number of catfish in the
Sacramento river Just now is a matter at
tracing great deal of attention. Fisher
men say the cats increase SO rapidly be-
cause they are naturally more tenacious of
| life than other fish, and the latter do not
prey upon the young cats, net relishing
| the tickling their horns create while they
are being swallowed. The fyke nets catch
great numbers every day, only the larger
| fish being saved by the net owners, and
men and boys fishing in the river with
hook and line frequently catch from 80 to
100 each, according as they find good
place " and devote time TO the work. At
the rate this class of fish is increasing it will
not be long before all other fish become ex-
ceedingly scarce, as the catfish, always
searching for food, like boy, will find and
devour the spawn.
